Five-character ancient poems about the vernal equinox

The five-character ancient poems about the vernal equinox are as follows:

The vernal equinox has five quatrains: at the vernal equinox, peaches and pears turn white. It's still early, sleeves are dancing in the east.

The vernal equinox is one of the 24 solar terms and the fourth solar term in spring. The longitude of the sun reaches 0, and the festival is held on March 19-22 of the Gregorian calendar every year. The vernal equinox is of great significance in astronomy. On the day of the vernal equinox, the sun shines directly on the equator, and the northern and southern hemispheres are divided equally day and night. Since then, the direct position of the sun has continued to move from the equator to the northern hemisphere. In the northern hemisphere, the day begins to be longer than the night, while in the southern hemisphere, it is the opposite.

Climatically, there are also obvious characteristics. After the vernal equinox, China has entered a beautiful spring except the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Northeast China, Northwest China and North China.

"Equinox" has two meanings. One is "season sharing". Traditionally, spring is between beginning of spring and Changchun, and the vernal equinox is in the middle of the two solar terms, which just divides spring equally.

Another meaning is "equal day and night". At the vernal equinox, the sun shines directly on the equator, and the length of day and night is equal, each being 12 hour. The climate of the vernal equinox is characterized by warm and sunny weather. At this time, China folks have the custom of flying kites, eating spring vegetables and laying eggs.

About five-character quatrains:

Five-character quatrains, a genre of China's traditional poems, are short poems with five words and four sentences, which conform to the rules of metrical poems and belong to the category of modern poems. This style originated from Yuefu poems in Han Dynasty, was deeply influenced by folk songs in Six Dynasties and matured in Tang Dynasty. Five-word quatrains but twenty crosses can show a fresh picture and convey a true artistic conception.

Seeing the big because of the small, there are always many small ones, and short chapters contain rich content, which is its biggest feature. There are two levels in the Five Musts. Representative works include Li Bai's Thoughts on a Quiet Night, Wang Wei's Birds Singing in the Stream, Du Fu's Eight Arrays, Wang Zhihuan's In the Heron Tower and Liu Changqing's Farewell Master.
